HC Deb 07 May 1883 vol 279 c30
MR. MOLLOY

asked the Secretary to the Treasury, If the drainage works at Meeluk have been stopped although still incomplete; and, whether it is the intention of the Government to resume these works and to carry them to completion?

MR. COURTNEY

Assuming that the Question of the hon. Member relates to the works on the Shannon at Meeluk, I have to say that those works have been substantially complete for some time. Some few accessories could not be finished while the river was in flood; but they are now being dealt with, and the works will be very shortly brought to a final conclusion.
